the burden OF this persecution must
fall upon q GLASS Of men Who have done
much 10 maintain asd defend shsir per-
ssoutsr, believing that the time would
soon come when the Northern Pacific
mast encourage legitimate railroad busi

for outside speculation. For years
thsse shippers havs bssn spoloeiziug for
The management Of the Northern Pacific,
arguing that Il vas net responsible for
